CAN THE UNIVERSAL CONSUMPTION BE sUC-
 CEssFULLY TREATEDa
 Dr. Borgeon, leading French doctor, has Q new treatment for consumption!
 He gives an enema of carbonic acid and sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas carrying the former into every part Of the throat and lungs.
 This treatment, too, is directed at effects tho cause remains undisturbed.
 What this cause is has been stated by per haps the highest pulmonary authority in the sumptives, in London, Eng.
 This malady every year carries of from one-seventh to one.ffth of the entire popu- lation of England.
 Dr. Payne, NJ D., M. R. c. F., London, is authority for this statement.
 The same or a greater proportion of deaths obtains ill America
 Dr. Payne also says that one-half the total number of deaths from all other causes only require some irritant to develop
 Dr. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent Ger man authority, says that consumption is caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood.
 These authorities cannot be disputed. The medical world recognizes them. The uric acid is the irritant in the blood that causes the development of the seeds which Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood
 Every particle of blood which passes through  the kidneys, and if they are in the least de. ranged they cannot rid the blood of it's kill ing poison. The thousand little hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get blocked up and diseased; and when they do they corrupt instead of purifying the blood Kidney disease may exist, and yet no pain occur in that organ, because it is deficient in nerves of sensation.
 1 Dip your finger in acid every day and 1t | soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid poi soned blood through the lungs every second, | and they soon give way.
 The Brompton Hospital investigation showed that 52 per cent. of the victims of consumption were afflicted with deranged i kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poi i son to remain in the blood and irritate the 1 lungs. This uric acid is always fighting every vital organ, and if there be any inherent weakness in the lungs it inevitably cause pneumonia, cough and consumption.
 The real cause of pulmonary troubles being so authoritatively showE to be faulty even though unsuspected action of the kidneys, explains why, in order to master the dreaded consumption, one must rid the blood or the uric acid irritant which indames and burns up the lung substance. For this purpose there is nothing equal to that great specific, Warmers safe cure. The remedy has now the favor of medical men all over the world purely on its merits We have no doubt tha if the kidneys are kept in natural action, con sumption and a great many other diseases caused by uric acid, will not only be cured but will be prevented.
 When the kidney is healthy, no albumel appears in the water, but albumen IS fount in the water of more than half of those wh' die of consumptionl
 This, then, is the condition of things tha always precedes consumption: First, weak ened kidneys; second. retained uric acid poisoning the blood; third, the development of disease in the lungs by the irritant acid Iassing through them. Then there is littl cough in the morning; soon thick, yellov matter is spit up, followed by loss of fies and strength, with dreadful night sweats and when the patient goes to his schoe physician for help he is put on cod liver oil which his stomach, weakened also by uri acid in the blood, cannot digest. Becaus there is no pain present in the kidney: the patient does not think they are affected but the kidney acid is doing its work ever minute, every hour, day and night, and b, and-by the disease of the lungs has advance until pus is developed then come hemo Images, and at last the glassy stare which d. notes that the end is near
 A post-mortem examination of such cas' shows that the terrible uric acid has con pletely destroyed the substance of the lung It is impossible to cure lung diseases whe the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
